Jake Haning

Ballroom, Latin, Swing, Country Western & Wedding
Instructor

When the swing craze began at the end of the 90’s, Jake knew nothing about dance other than the brief ballet training he received as a kid, and the music theater he studied in high school. The first dances he learned were Lindy Hop and West Coast Swing. And you know what they say – you never forget your first love; they still remain his favorite dances to this day because they embody freedom and flexibility, and give you the chance to be and express yourself with your own styles and interpretations.

Jake’s competitive focus at the moment is West Coast Swing. In the last year, he has placed in All Star and Champion Strictlys, Jack and Jill's, and in Classic. He is also certified in American Smooth and Rhythm dances.

Jake stays current on all the most popular dance styles by continuing his study of all forms of dance. He teaches full time and is in great demand in the Dallas, San Antonio and Houston areas doing specialty workshops on WC Swing, as well as Austin. Gotta Dance?....Gotta have a lesson with Jake!
